Tuning to another instrument/
Transposing
When you play this instrument together with other
instruments, or along with music on a CD or tape, you
may need to adjust the tuning so that the pitch
matches. To adjust the tuning, use GLOBAL 1.1: Sys-
tem Basic page "Master Tune." The tuning can be
adjusted in a range of –50 – +50 cents (one semitone is
100 cents).
You can also transpose by changing the pitch in
semitone steps. To transpose the pitch of the entire this
instrument, use GLOBAL 1.1: System Basic page "Key
Transpose." The pitch can be transposed over a range
of ±1 octave.
Here we will explain how to adjust the tuning and
transposition of the entire this instrument in Global
mode.
1 Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.
2 Press the [EXIT] key.
3 Press the [F1] ("Basic") key.
4 To adjust the tuning, select "Master Tune." to
adjust the transposition, select "Key Transpose."
5 Use the VALUE controllers to adjust the setting.
You can use numeric keys [0]–[9] to enter a value
and press the [ENTER] key. Alternatively, you can
use the [VALUE] dial, the [VALUE] slider, or the
VALUE [ ], [ ] keys.
If you wish to keep this setting after the power is
turned off, you must Write. ( p.40)

Bypassing the effects

Normally, effects are turned on/off within each pro-
gram, combination, or song, or in Sampling mode or
Song Play mode. However if you want the entire this
instrument not to use its insert effects or master effects,
you can bypass these effects.
1 Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.
2 Press the [EXIT] key.
3 Press the [F1] "(Basic)" key.
4 To turn off insert effects 1–5, check the "IFX1-5
Off" check box.
To turn off master effect 1, check the "MFX1 Off"
check box. To turn off master effect 2, check the
"MFX2 Off" check box.

Other functions

Specifying the function of the
ASSIGNABLE Switch and
ASSIGNABLE Pedal
Set the function of an assignable switch (separately
sold option, Korg PS-1) connected to the ASSIGN-
ABLE SWITCH jack.
This switch can act as a source for alternate modulation
or effect dynamic modulation, or switch portamento
on/off, control the sostenuto effect, turn the soft pedal
effect on/off, turn the arpeggiator on/off, select pro-
grams or combinations (up/down), start/stop the
sequencer, punch-in/out on the sequencer, or be a trig-
ger to advance the cue list step (
• This setting is made in GLOBAL 6.1: Controller
Foot page "Foot SW Assign."
You can specify the function that will be performed by
an assignable pedal (the separately sold Korg XVP-10
or EXP-2) connected to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL
jack.
This pedal can be used to control master volume, alter-
nate modulation or effect dynamic modulation,
portamento pitch change speed, volume, the pan fol-
lowing an insert effect, pan, expression, effect control,
or send levels to the master effects (
• This setting is made in GLOBAL 6.1: Controller
Foot page "Foot Pedal Assign."
You can use this as a source for alternate modula-
tion or effect dynamic modulation, and use it to
control program parameters or effect parameters.
In this case, set "Foot Switch Assign" to Foot SW
(CC#82), and "Foot Pedal Assign" to Foot Pedal
(CC#04).
Here we will show how to make settings that allow an
assignable switch to change programs or combinations.
1 Connect a Korg PS-1 pedal switch (separately sold
option) to the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack.
2 Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.
3 Press the [MENU] key, and then press the [F6]
("Ctrl") key and [F8] ("Open") key.
4 Press the [F1] ("Foot") key.
5 Select "Foot SW Assign," and select either Pro-
gram Up or Program Down.
If you select Program Up, the next higher program
number will be selected each time you press the foot
switch.
If you select Program Down, the next lower pro-
gram number will be selected each time you press
the foot switch.
